Promises

Promises
I promised myself I wouldn’t cry
But it’s just so hard to hold it in

I promised myself I wouldn’t worry
But I can’t stop thinking of what could happen

This time I promise
To keep my promises

I promise I won’t cry or worry
I promise I will pray and think of you
Most of all I promise 
I won’t forget you

Promise me you’ll think of me
Promise to be careful and safe
I don’t care if you forget me
Just promise you’ll come home
